The nightingale and rose by oscar wilde
She rejects the red rose along with the Student. The red rose equips the Student to go ahead with his plan but the Professor’s Daughter, overjoyed by the jewels she has received from the Chamberlain’s nephew, changes not only her ball dress but also her dance partner.
Finally, she succeeds, but dies on the spot, as the rose blooms, absorbing her heart’s flesh. Having assessed the decisiveness of a red rose for the attainment of the Student’s dream, the Nightingale embarks on a project to produce one for him, at the expense of her own life. The Nightingale in Oscar Wild’s very romantic short story overhears the lamentation of the Student, who is in turmoil without knowing how he, in that wintry weather, provides a red rose for his dream sweetheart, his Professor’s Daughter, who has demanded him to get one for her to match the colour of her ball dress, promising to dance with him if the latter manages.
